Yesterday, a single-vehicle collision claimed the life of a 51-year-old man. The Henderson Police and Fire Departments were called to the scene around 12:26 p.m., near the intersection of Seven Hills Drive and Via Meridiana, according to an official report by the City of Henderson.
The unfortunate incident involved a black 2012 Cadillac CTS that, for reasons yet to be determined, veered off the road and ended up on landscaping rocks. Despite there being no immediate suspicion of speed or impairment contributing to the crash, the driver, whose name has yet to be released pending notification of next of kin, did not survive after being rushed to a local area hospital with a suspected medical condition, as detailed by the City of Henderson's statement.
For several hours, following the accident, traffic was impacted as the northbound lanes of Seven Hills Drive were closed to facilitate a thorough investigation of the crash site. The incident marks the twentieth accident-related fatality this year within the jurisdiction.
